Mars is starting to get interesting now. Still an early morning object, but it is placed very well in the sky from about 3AM on. I've just gotten up early on a few occassions to view and image it. I'm expecting that if the dust storms hold off, this will be a much better opposition than 2003, even though it is smaller in size. The high position in the sky more than makes up for the smaller apparent size. Thanks, Tom Davis Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 1 registered and 6 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
